www.womanthismonth.com 71 October 2013 Electric Firefly: Mara Mostafa “Blogging was something that was playing in the back of my mind for a few years before I actually got started. I have so many interests that I figured I needed an outlet to get them out there and hopefully touch those with similar mindsets and passions. A friend of mine pushed me to take the plunge and there’s no looking back now.” How has life changed since: In one word – busy! But it has been great. You get to go behind the scenes, try products, travel to fashion events and so much more. My main rush is meeting fabulous likeminded people. Side projects: My main job is being a wife and a mum to my three munchkins. I have a mother and baby line called Baby M and a clothing line, Mara, to which I hope to dedicate more time. I Speak Fashion: Duaa Zainal “I’ve been passionate about fashion since I was a little girl. My dream was to become a fashion designer. I loved sketching and dressing up so much I was basically born to do it.” Favourite fashion quote: Style is a way of saying who you are without having to speak – Rachel Zoe Your real-time job: I used to work as an accountant. I’m currently continuing my fashion studies in Hong Kong. The Sartori Ali: Ali Salah “After quitting fashion for almost a year, I felt lost and not so stuck to my fashionable roots. I was also hungry; hungry for fashion and everything revolving around it. Being a huge Bryan Boy fan, I idolised him and got the idea of starting a fashion blog that was mainly directed towards men’s fashion.” Coming up with a name: Being a male fashion blogger in the Middle East, I couldn’t have a name that screamed fluffy, pink or delicate... right? A friend of mine and I were going through The Sartorialist’s photography book of street styles. That’s when it hit us –The Sartori Ali – stating something masculine, dapper and quite fashionable. Favourite brands: Alexander Wang and Givenchy. But here’s the thing; I love shopping from H&M for my daily wear! born to be IT'S A MAN'S fashionable WORLD SUPERMOM
